Never. He is just so open-minded!


For real though, dude actually responded to what was said and not just what he thought.

rawr rawr rawr :D rawr rawr

i used to think summer sanders was so purdy :erm

not reading this bs, but i really hope that nobody thinks that coeliac's disease isnt a real thing

celiac is a real thing. crohn's is a real thing

gluten intolerance is not a real thing

says the person with perfect intestines

not even going to touch how wrong you are, with a 40 foot pole

I always bloat and feel crappy after sandwiches...which makes me eat a muffin for comfort and then I feel even worse. I can 'to tell if I'm gluten intolerant or just eating far too much food. Until I work it out I will keep eating...

the SMALLEST amount of gluten turns my girlfriend into a foetal position victim.


and by the SMALLEST, i literally mean a sip of beer, or toast that has been contaminated with non-gf breadcrumbs. it makes her sicker than any stomach complaint i've ever had.

but i guess anecdotes don't count right

and isnt that celiac?

yes, it is coeliac

you might call it an INTOLERANCE, no?

yes well celiac is very real but it's fairly rare and that's not what people refer to right now as gluten intolerance by and large. The no gluten craze happening right now has nothing to do with celiac and is mainly just new way for the food industry to make money, it's a lot of people convincing themselves it's bad for them (after centuries of mankind being fine with gluten) without any actual believable data . My mom for one. She doesn't have celiac. But she claims she can't tolerate gluten and has cut it entirely... k. Weird i never heard her say that until 2 years ago....

Then you've got people claiming they're just more healthy cutting gluten. Except whole grain cereal are extremely beneficial for your health. People use that word gluten now as if it was something bad and damaging for you when its just a natural protein in some cereal. Since when is a protein bad for you? You may lose weight cutting carbs like bread and become healthier for it sure but that's not gluten that was the issue.

All this Gluten free bullshit is just a fad, trust me. It will blow over, just like the Mcdougall diet, Atkins diet, etc.

McDougall? Is that like the MacGruber of diets?

McDougall is the extremely low-fat high-starch vegan guy

i love how the world was built on wheat sudeenly it's bad for us makes sesne

No, you'd call it celiac?

No throwing my hat into this ring beyond that though.

CORN IS NEXT! ENJOY YOUR TACOS WHILE YOU CAN STILL TOLERATE IT

no shut the fuck up

WHICH IS A DISORDER CAUSED BY INTOLERANCE TO GLUTEN

Sigh. Ok. I can't imagine you've even thought about what the terms generally mean. But I really don't care.

eulogy

because i'm so stupid, i need you to explain to me "what the terms generally mean"

No one ever disputed the existence of Celiac Disease. So your outrage was nonsensical.

You aren't stupid, just sometimes hard headed and unnecessarily angry.

you've got to be kidding me

Scotty - "Coeliac is real, but gluten intolerance is not".

i mean, as a doctor, he should be able to refute this
